Democrats unfair
to John Rowland

The Democrats had their caucus , and decided the governor should be impeached. What a shock!

The fact that
Governor Rowland
is a Republican had absolutely nothing to do with their decision. It was simply outrage at his misdeeds.

Why, he lied to the press about that hot tub - you know, the one given to him by a friend of 21 years and her husband.

But she works for him. Therefore, there was certainly an ulterior motive. And then, he only just repaid a loan from years ago, made when he was making $78,000 a year as governor (just more than the governor of Arkansas, but only Arkansas).

He foolishly refused to take a salary increase of almost double in his second term because he wanted to save the state money. Well, so what.

The fact that he paid it back now that he has accepted that increase just proves his evil intent.

The crimes of this governor are so great they certainly outweigh those of any Democrats, who are all so sensitive to these situations.

Now, they did all stand by that paragon of virtue,
Bill Clinton
; well, yes, he lied to the press, to the American people, to his wife, under oath, on television. But heck, that was only about sex, and didn't mean anything. Harmless, you know.

Putting sarcasm aside, as a citizen of the state of Connecticut, I voted for John Rowland and he is my governor.

The Democrat-run legislature has no right to nullify my vote and the votes of all others who voted for him, until it has been proven the governor has done something illegal.

They stand before us and say (with a straight face) that there is no political motive behind their actions.
